In holographic three-dimensional (3D) displays, the surface structures of 3D objects are reconstructed without their internal parts. In diffraction calculations using 3D fast Fourier transform (FFT), this sparse distribution of 3D objects can reduce the calculation time as the Fourier transform can be analytically solved in the depth direction and the 3D FFT can be resolved into multiple two-dimensional (2D) FFTs. Moreover, the Fourier spectrum required for hologram generation is not the entire 3D spectrum but a partial 2D spectrum located on the hemispherical surface.

Previous studies have shown the important roles of B cell immunity in cGVHD development. Here, we investigated the long-term reconstitution of B lymphopoiesis after PTCy using murine models.

Tregs promptly respond to low concentrations of IL-2 through the constitutive expression of high-affinity IL-2 receptors. It has been reported that low-dose IL-2 therapy increased circulating Tregs and improved clinical symptoms of chronic GVHD.

Microvascular alterations can cause painful ulcers and necrosis; however, conservative or surgical treatment is often challenging in terms of healing. The study aimed to describe a toe ulcer with systemic sclerosis and its' successful treatment with spinal cord stimulation.
